Issue 31

This issue only had just a few parts, so it it did not take very long to finish. I added the hand and thumb guard to the chainmail and armoured sections of the sleeve. It was fortunate that I did not throw out the extra chainmail that I removed from the parts from issue 29, as I needed to use some of it to complete this issue. Although I believe somewhere in the instructions it said to keep it, I can not be sure because I am unable to fully understand them. Fortunately,  I do tend to keep the scraps and extras anyway, so I had enough extra links in my toolbox.

With this issue the armoured sections of the sleeve is complete. Next, I will begin to sew them to a silk and leather sleeve. I examined some of the parts for the next issue and I suspect one of them, the lining,  may have been cut incorrectly. This could result in a delay in completing that issue as I attempt to contact the company and get a replacement part.
